The expedition was to become the adventure of a lifetime, the culmination of a journey that started with a moment of tragedy years before. Ben was inspired to take on this challenge by the memory of his son, Willem, who was stillborn in 2014. This is the story of an incredible journey that has for ever changed the lives of those involved.
